[edit] Steinsaltz a Palestinian?

It seems to me that we should categorize all those born in the British Mandate of Palestine as "Palestinian," even if they are Jewish, Druze, Bahai, Christian, etc. Perhaps there should even be a subcategory called "Palestinian rabbis," to which Steinsaltz would belong. This should be something everyone can agree about, even, no? --Leifern 00:48, 30 January 2006 (UTC)

definitely, no!!! Tio 10:02, 3 July 2006 (UTC)

In fact, Jews born in Mandatory Palestine were classified as "Palestinians", along with the other inhabitants of the territory. Today's Jerusalem Post newspaper was founded in 1932 as "The Palestine Post", and to this day the paper's owning corporation is known as Palestine Post, Ltd., (see About Us on the JPost website.) As with many other things, Jewish identity has been suborned by foreigners, so that the Arabs took over the name of "Palestinian" from the Jews in the area. The horrified reactions seen above reflect the lack of historical perspective on the problem.

[edit] References

None them are used in references to anything. The section should be renamed to "Works." Anyone agree? ems (not to be confused with the nonexistant pre-dating account by the same name) 22:06, 7 May 2006 (UTC)

I have talked to Steinsaltz. He doesn't claim to have semicha yet. He claims that he is attempting to re-establish it.

Criticism of Steinsaltz talmud. Why not mention of the ashkenazi (e.g. shach) controversy? Putiing someone who has agendas against orthodoxy as criticism is very misleading.
